Almost all of them have European surnames, but only ~20% of them have a European ancestor. If you are white, chances are good one of your ancestors came from France, or used a French surname to fool the authorities.
1 AC, or alternating current means the electrical current is alternating directions in a repetitive pattern.  AC is created by generators in power plants, and other sources. This AC current is delivered to our homes and businesses by the power lines we see everywhere.
Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. Direct current is produced by such sources as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type. Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also be through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams. The electric charge flows in a constant direction, distinguishing it from alternating current (AC).
